Softpedia Editor's Review for FinePrint
|
A Windows printer driver that saves ink, paper and time
Written by Bogdan Popa on December 8th, 2011
FinePrint is a software application that's supposed to optimize the document printing process and thus help you save ink and paper with the help of an innovative preview window.
Just like expected, the program will act like a virtual printer on your computer, so in order to access its interface and features, you have to hit the print button in any of your Windows application.
Once you're there, there are numerous options waiting for you, all supposed to enhance the document printing process.
First of all, FinePrint has an unique printing preview option that lets you customize the way your pages will look like, giving you the option to add new blank pages or delete certain pages from the project.
In addition, if you wish to save ink, FinePrint comes with a dedicated tool to use just black, so all colored text will be converted to black, while photos will be removed from the documents.
Another important feature is the one that lets users print on both sides of the paper, so here you go, another way to save some resources, this time a piece of paper.
Last but not least, FinePrint allows document saving in multiple formats, including TIFF, JPEG, BMP, text and FP.
Since it plays the role of a virtual printer, you won't need a supercomputer to run it. During our test, the application worked flawlessly on both Windows 7 and Windows XP, so it's safe to say that old machines will run it pretty fine.
All things considered, FinePrint could come in very handy to many users out there, and although it comes with a pretty hefty price, we're pretty sure you won't be disappointed with your investment.
